2.1.1. DIVISION WISE BRIEF REPORTS OF RESEARCH WORK

2.1 HYDRODYNAMICS RESEARCH DIVISION NO. IA) PROBLEMS COMPLETED IN THE YEAR 2011- 20121) JIGAON PROJECT, TAL: NANDURA, DIST: BULDHANA SECTIONAL (2-D) MODEL STUDY

a) First interim report:-

Experiments are carried out on G.S. 1:50 scale sectional model, prepared as

per drawings supplied by S.E. (M.D.), C.D.O., Nashik. Main terms of reference given

to this institute are to find head discharge relationship for spillway, to check trunion

submergence etc.

From the experiments and observations for various conditions, when

reservoir level is at F.R.L. 239.210 m; spillway will able to pass the discharge of

22464.09 Cumecs as against expected discharge of 24131.02 Cumecs for T.W,L.

232.80 m. to 233.20 m. Hence the spillway capacity seems to be inadequate also

trunion is submerged for this condition. At about 0.383 m. water is above the trunion

R.L. 231.117 m. All above performances are subjected to realisation of tail water

level in tail channel.

For the above experiments in absence of any realistic data, the TWL

supplied by Field Officer vide letter No. 1396/TS-2/Jigaon/M.D./09. dt. 07.03.2009

has been adopted. Accordingly results were communicated to the concerned

authority.

Field officer requested to this Institute to carry out the experiments on the

same drawings of overflow section with variable tail water levels and also

communicated the designed head discharge table for spillway.

From the experiments for extreme case for M.W.L. 240.561 m. the discharge

passes over spillway is of the order of 27662.66 cumecs with T.W.L. 235.00 to

235.50 m. Trunion submergence is of the order of 2.633 m.

b) Second interim report:-

Field officer & C.D.O. requested this institute to carryout model study for

revised drawings & input data. Due to changes in drawings and input data for TWL

the experiments are carried out on G.S. 1:60 scale sectional model. End weir was

not provided in this dam.

5

The experiments are conducted on the model to observe the Hydraulic

performance of energy dissipation arrangement given by C.D.O. and measurement

of water surface profile for reservoir level at F.R.L. 239.210 m. , M.W.L 240.561 m.

and for 28621.38 cumecs discharge maintaining corresponding tail water level,

newly suggested by field officer.

Graph showing the head discharge relationship for free flow condition is

plotted and it indicates that for F.R.L. 239.21 m. outflow is about 20286.00 cumecs

and for M.W.L. 240.561 m. outflow is about 24852.00 cumecs. Upper nappee profile

bas been plotted for F.R.L. & M.W.L. from this the trunion clearance observed for

F.R.L. and M.W.L. is about 7.94 m. & 7.07 m. respectively

Further studies on calibration of Gate will be conducted after receipt of

comments from field officer & C.D.O.

2) MODEL STUDY FOR SPILLWAY AND E.D.A. OF MIDDLE VAITARNA PROJECT UNDER M.C.G.M.- SECTIONAL (2-D) MODEL STUDY

Experiments are carried out on G.S. 1:50 scale sectional model, prepared as

per drawings supplied by S.E. (M.D.) , C.D.O. Nashik. Main terms of reference given

to this Institute are to find head discharge relationship , to check adequacy of

spillway, to check trunion submergence & to find discharges at various gate

openings and different reservoir levels etc.

From the experiments and observations for various conditions, it reveals that

the spillway has adequate capacity to pass 7287 cumecs as against designed

discharge of 6538 cumecs at F.R.L. ‘ Calibration Curve ‘ for free flow condition and ‘

Gate Calibration Curves ‘ for various gate openings & reservoir levels are developed

& given in report. Pressures on spillway glacies along the centre line of spillway are

observed. Negative pressures observed at certain locations are within permissible

limits. During experiments it was observed that appron suggested by C.D.O.

adjacent to lip of flip bucket shows fluctuation pressures. This phenomenon was

eliminated by providing appron 1.5 m. below lip level. This leads to saving in

concrete quantity & better hydraulic performance. Height and length of trajectory of

flip from bucket for various discharges & gate openings are studied and noted in

tabular and graphical forms. Accordingly results were communicated to concerned

authority.

In future it is desirable to take proto observations as suggested in ‘ P.W.D.

Hand book Chapter No. 18 ‘ Hydraulics ‘ in the form of photographic & video graphic

6

records so that model proto conformity will built the confidence level of design

engineers on the assumptions considered during design.

Objective

To estimate total siltation in reservoir

To estimate present gross storage capacity of reservoir

To update the content table at different elevations

To update Elevation -Capacity curve

Methodology

The reservoir portion from bed level R.L. 556.00 m up to R.L.584 00 m was covered

under DGPS based hydrographic survey and the portion above R.L. 584.00 m up to

F.R.L. was covered under Satellite remote sensing survey. Thus total reservoir

portion was covered under survey and siltation in the entire reservoir could be

estimated. The Hydrographic survey was conducted at 100 m range lines spacing.

The remote sensing survey was conducted using IRS P6 LISS III images having 24

m resolution. The results of both the surveys were clubbed and the present storage

capacity was estimated. This present capacity was compared with designed capacity

of the reservoir and the difference was attributed to siltation.

Projects in Krishna Khore using Satellite Remote Sensing Technique was taken in

hand completed in Year 2011-12.

The Hon. Secretary, Water Resources Dept., GOM instructed to carry out

comparative study for sugarcane crop measurement by RS technique and actual

physical measurements on the field.

OBJECTIVES The objective of the study is to identify measure and map sugarcane crop in

command area of 13 projects in Krishna Khore using satellite remote sensing

technique.

METHODOLOGY:The methodology adopted is briefly described in two themes as follows:

i. Analysis of satellite data

ii. GIS Analysis for village level statistics.

Satellite images of two different seasons are analysed with Supervise

classification algorithm and aggregation of these images is carried out to generate

the sugarcane crop area. Vector maps are overlayed to extract village level

sugarcane.

This methodology is adopted for all the 13 projects of Krishna Khore.

1) Analysis of test result data of Seepage Water for large dams in Maharashtra:

Objective: The Seepage water sample from various dams were analyzed chemically and

test results data was collected to study the intensity of the seepage problem of

various dams.

Methodology: The sample were collected from 35 dam sites and analyzed in the laboratory.

The tests such as ‘pH’, ‘Ca Hardness’, ‘Total Solids’, ‘Total Dissolved Solids’,

‘Suspended Solids’, ‘Conductivity’, ‘Alkalinity’ were carried out on the samples.

Conclusion: It is observed that for almost all the dams, the values of the Chemical

Parameters like ‘pH’, ‘Calcium Hardness’, ‘Total Dissolved Solids’, ‘Alkalinity’,

‘Conductivity’ in Seepage Water are increased than that of the Reservoir Water.
